Yes but part of it is also Dean being Dean; he hasn't been terribly likeable, downright dickish at times during The Carver era. I did laugh out loud when Eldon Styne started rolling up his sleeves to fight Dean, and Dean shoots him in the head. And I guess him killing the tiniest Styne was to indicate that he finally crossed a line? That was telegraphed.

No surprise that Sam couldn't kill Crowley but did manage to piss him off enough to have him go full on evil again. Crowley was a crossroads demon so I always thought he had red demon eyes but there was something different about them - will have to watch again. Rowena is now able to read the BOTD so I'm sure she'll be double crossing everyone in the last episode, and wreaking havoc. Way to go, Sam; it's Season 4 all over again.
How far will Sam go to save Dean?
A few weeks ago I mentioned I didn't like where things were headed. Sam is coming across as whiny and desperate but at least The Carver has been consistent in presenting him as an incompetent and incapable, but "mature", hunter. Geez... you'd think some lessons would have been learned along the way but this must be what the majority of fans like so I guess not. And, for the record, Sam won't end up saving Dean; I said at the start of the season - as long as Carver is running the show, Sam will never be given what would be considered a "big win".
Is this the end of the Frankensteins?
Probably; What a wasted opportunity, kind of like the Mother of All in S6.
And what exactly is Castiel anyway? He couldn't angel flick or otherwise stop Dean? Didn't make much sense. We know Dean has uber strength now but they're all over the map on this one. And Castiel was able to restrain Demon Dean at the start of S10 when he had stolen grace.
Some of us called the fact that the MoL bunker would be compromised this week so hurray for us. So much for the bunker being warded/protected; I guess Sam and Dean upgraded the entrance and installed sliding glass doors with motion detectors. Part of me was wishing they would have destroyed the bunker and turned this back in to road show.
This episode was okay but I'll reserve final judgment till I see what happens next week.
Speculative stuff for next week -
So it looks like Death is back so Dean will be able to save himself with Death's help. Kind of a cheap out, like Sam's "fix" in The Born Again Identity, but I'll wait and see where they go with this. Whatever happens, I'm sure it will require a sacrifice on Dean's part; just wondering what Death would want; since Sam and Dean have disrupted the natural order on a global scale, perhaps part of Death removing the mark will either be Dean reaping Sam, or Death changing things so Sam and Dean are no longer brothers and therefore can no longer disrupt the natural order?
